| 12:18 | But you have not drawn near to a tangible mountain, or a burning fire, or a whirlwind, or a mist, or a storm, |
| 12:19 | or the sound of a trumpet, or a voice of words. Those who had experienced these things excused themselves, lest the Word be spoken to them. |
| 12:21 | And what was seen was so terrible that even Moses said: “I am terrified, and so, I tremble.” |
| 12:22 | But you have drawn near to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of Angels, |
| 12:23 | and to the Church of the first-born, those who have been inscribed in the heavens, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, |
| 12:24 | and to Jesus, the Mediator of the New Testament, and to a sprinkling of blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. |
